I predict, there will be a 3rd person mod on nexus in max. 1 week.
No wonder you cant see your character's hair in their shadow. Was wondering if it was a bug on my end or due to my graphics settings or not. But i guess its because the head isn't even rendered. Even though you do have a head shadow, it's just bald.
And yeah doesn't look like any great 3rd person mod will be possible. But frankly i would be fine even if it wasn't fully functional. Just being able to see my character in the game in real time every now and then is all that's needed. So that i can say "hey look, there I am." To break up the feeling of simply being a floating camera.
That's what i use 3rd person for in bethesda games a lot. When doing mundane activities, or simply walking around and checking out the sites, or when talking to people.
Of course it's impossible to say what the numbers are exactly but if somehow we could poll the entire user base of people who actually purchased CP2077, I'd be willing to put money on at least 50% of those people wanting at minimum an optional third person perspective. Throw in the people who didn't buy the game because of a lack of third person (they exist and I know few) and the numbers would probably get fairly lopsided. So basically you're not alone and personally I'll keep fighting this battle till I can accept there's no hope for it.
Give the people what they want is a pretty good business model and after playing CP2077 there's no reason that I can see (granted I only play games, I don't make them) beyond taking shortcuts to not implement third person into the game and be so stubborn about forcing only first person on everyone. The melee suffers significantly because of first person only, all the cool fashion is virtually invisible and my experience of V is a floating camera and a voice...maybe that's how they came up with the name V....a floating voice.
Hoping and praying for a miracle here.

We DID poll on the forums back in 2018. Ironically the poll and thread got shut down because CDPR didn't want to hear what anyone had to say. I imagine they weren't expecting such an outcry for third-person mode, or that the votes would end up leaning so heavily in its favour.
The result was generally speaking 32% of users preferred TPP, while only 8% preferred FPP. 29% liked both but wanted FPP, 11% liked both but wanted TPP, and 5% preferred TPP but wanted FPP while 4% were unable to beat a FPP game due to motion sickness.
This being from a relatively small sample base of 290 users, but I think it's still fairly indicative of the general attitude that has been persistent throughout, and that we're even seeing now as well.
On the whole the VAST majority trended towards either wanting third-person, or being happy to compromise on having both, or at least giving people the OPTION to choose. The only people who EXCLUSIVELY wanted it their way, and their way only, was the minority FPP-only crowd.
...and everyone who uses it will lose access to their game.
Did you folks even read the EULA? CDPR banned modding of Cyberpunk 2077.
To say that watching this is heartbreaking for me would be an understatement.
I'm going to go and celebrate now.
Yep, definitely looks worse than what Bethesda could do. No wonder they chose not to implement it. How did The Witcher 3 even get made?!
the game was just not MADE for 3rd person.
The same way Crisis has shit TPP animations but Ryse: Son of Rome doesn't. And they're also made by the same company.
And Rockstar just keeps taking the crown of the best developer ever...
well what can I say? Cdpr have said that they look up to them. They have a much longer history compared to Cdpr. And they have all the GTA installments in the world back from 97 to improve their formula in GTAV. Cyberpunk is just CDPR's 1st take and isn't even trying to be a GTA clone. The similar aspects are nothing but shallow similarities because the main focus is different.

I'm actually surprised they managed to get TPP this early. They fixed and added a bunch of animations in TW3: looting, eating, drinking, combat pose, dodging, sword attacks, jogging and jogging speed transitions, halting, jumping and even taunting mid-combat.
Kinda hyped what they'll do to Cyberpunk since it's the same only improved engine. They've already fixed: mappings (esp double-tap to dodge), walking speeds on keyboard, draw distance, artificial character lighting, V's non-existent ray tracing reflection and implemented a third-person camera with an actual head?? And it's barely even a week.

Only way to go third person is when driving. CD Projekt stressed this was the case in order to increase immersion. I agree with this choice, it's a shame my immersion is broken almost every hour after seeing another glitch or bug.
Well, geez, I guess that means Vergil was never considered as a character for DMC5 considering the fact that he was missing several animations and actions when modders dug his code out of the game.
Or maybe the lack of animations suggests that, much like the character creation function, it was something they had already started on and then left in after the fact.
